The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at
high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quant-
ity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another meth-
od is to chill components A+B and C before mixing them (i.e. only when ap-
plication temperatures are above +20 °C).
